Why the hell are we arguing statutes? Look at the big picture: He
leaked config files to a system that has access to something in a
/nuclear power plant/.  He's going to jail, it's just a matter of
time.

I was thinking more along the lines of an Office Depot, Sports

automatically open the sliding glass doors for you. I don't expect
these businesses to claim a 'comparison shopper' was trespassing after
the fact.

I suspect this case closer to: you walk into an Office Depot, which is
OK, and then pass through a door, which although unlocked, has an
"Eployees Only" sign on it.  You'll have a hard time arguing in court that
www.fpl.com and scada.fpl.com are both "open to the public" by design.

On top of that, you *can* get yourself busted for trespassing in an Office
Depot, if you insist on doing stuff like ignoring the "No Soliciting" sign, paying
an inordinate amount of interest in their security cameras and alarm systems,
and otherwise being present with absolutely no plans to conduct commerce.
